He is expected to be arraigned Thursday in Rotterdam on two counts each of robbery and grand larceny as well as one count of criminal possession of stolen property.

Rotterdam Police began to focus on Daniels, 26, after receiving a tip from their counterparts in Colonie during what became a joint investigation involving the FBI, the state Division of Parole, the Albany Crime Analysis Center and several local police agencies.

On Monday, Rotterdam detectives William Male and Steven Manikas responded to Daniels' home after being notified that a man matching the description of the bandit had just robbed a Trustco in Schenectady.

The investigators took Daniels and another person leaving the residence into custody and brought them to Schenectady. In Schenectady, Daniels is charged with one count of robbery and grand larceny, both felonies, for allegedly robbing the Trustco bank on Upper Union Street.
